2.0 out of 5 stars Phone Purchase, May 12, 2007

By	W. Mullen (Ponte Vedra, Fl) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Phone is just O.K. The design has a flaw in the Hand Piece so that it does not hold the handpiece on the base. Just a slight movement of the base will shake the handpiece off. I would choose a different model if ever I tried to replace this phone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great for wall mount, November 16, 2009

By	Looking For The Best Value Just Like You - See all my reviews

The phone is difficult to wall mount, the phone cord they provide is tough to roll up behind the unit. I did not find it possible and had to buy a special 1 foot phone cord to tuck behind it. The handset is very thin at the bottom and hard to get your hand around it to pick it up. The front of the unit is curved and not great for wall mount either. I bought it because of it's small size compared to other units this one is at least an inch smaller, but I ended up returning it and still looking for a replacement. For desk it's probably ok.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, November 28, 2008

By	davidp1234 - See all my reviews

This phone is decent. Nice to have Caller Id and Speakerphone in one for an inexpensive price.

My only disappointment is that the red light above "Play" does not blink when you have a message waiting. I'm not sure why they designed it that way. We had another GE phone that blinked when you had a new message. The only way to see if you have new msgs is to turn a light on and see the LCD display. Well now, actually we found out that if you push the Play button, it will tell you if you have new msgs or not. So don't have to turn the light on above the phone.

So overall a decent phone. Just a little disappointed with no blinking light, after having it before.
